WGU D027 Objective Assessment Review (Latest 2023/ 2024 Update) Advanced Pathopharmacological Foundations | Questions and Verified Answers | 100% Correct| Grade A Q: What is the proportion of the population affected by a disease at the specific point in time? Answer: Prevalence rate - Incidence rate refers to how many new cases there are of a disease within a period of time divided by the number of the population's individuals. The prevalence rate is affected by the incidence rate and how long the affected patients survive. Risk factor is anything that could lead to disease. Relative risk is the measure of a risk factor effect. Q: Which of the following should be completed when a disease is multifactorial but has a larger genetic component? Answer: Get a thorough family history - Environment and lifestyle choices may influence a disease, but diseases such as breast cancer are hereditary, so the family history should be reviewed. Q: Which action is the purpose of the inflammatory process? Answer: To destroy foreign, invasive microorganisms - The general purpose of inflammation is to initiate the destruction of foreign or invasive organisms. As a secondary effect, it increases the healing and immune response processes of the body. Q: What causes edema that occurs during the inflammatory process? Answer: Increased vascular permeability - Increased pressure in the vasculature secondary to the vasodilatory effects of inflammation will result in the leakage of fluid into third spaces (i.e., edema). Previousquestion Q: In what structure do B lymphocytes mature and become B cells? Answer: Bone marrow - The bone marrow is where immature immune cells, such as B and T lymphocytes, reside to mature into B cells.

Q: Which type of immunity occurs when antibodies are transferred from donor to recipient? Answer: Passive acquired immunity - Active immune processes are the self -originating processes of the immune system that occur from (acquired) or without (innate) prior exogenous simulation or exposure to foreign antigens. Passive immunity is stabilized. Existing immune responses that are pr esent with or without simulation can arise or be created from oneself (innate) or acquired from an outside source (e.g. donor antibodies). Q: What does T -cell activity cause in older adults? Answer: Increased susceptibility for infection - As the human body ages, the immune system's effectiveness to coordinate responses to pathogens and other foreign antigens wanes and the risk for disease increases. Q: What is a dermatitis caused by prolonged exposure to chemicals such as acids or soaps also known as? Answer: Irritant contact dermatitis - Prolonged, superficial skin exposure to foreign irritants (e.g., acids or soaps) is a manifestation of an innate, local inflammatory response.

Answer: Epithelial cells - Carcinoma refers to dysplastic epithelial cells that have penetrated the entire thickness of the epithelium into the basement membrane. Q: What is a characteristic of a malignant tumor? Answer: Absence of normal tissue organization - Healthy tissue is made up of non -cancerous cells that are well -differentiated, connected via a well-organized stroma and that stay put. Malignant tumors lack those characteristics as well as normal tissue organization. Q: Which lifestyle factor has not been linked to the development of cancer?
